EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The image showcases a scene from Chapter III, "Who Stole Tarts" where Alice and her curious companions stumble upon the majestic Gryphon. Created around 1900 by the talented illustrator John Tenniel, this colored lantern slide beautifully captures the essence of Carroll's timeless tale. The Gryphon, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle, stands tall on a picturesque beach. Its presence exudes both power and grace as it gazes into the distance, seemingly guarding its surroundings. A young girl, possibly representing Alice herself or another female character from the story, stands beside this fantastical beast. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to every detail: from the golden sand beneath their feet to the azure waves crashing against nearby rocks. This visual masterpiece transports viewers into an era long gone - Victorian England - where literature thrived under Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's pen name Lewis Carroll. As we admire this piece of artistry by W Butcher & Sons Ltd. , we are reminded of Sir John Tenniel's remarkable contribution to bringing Carroll's words to life through his illustrations. This photograph serves as a testament to their enduring collaboration and continues to captivate audiences even today.
